"Okay," Fang Yun agreed without any hesitation.
"Hehe," Xiao Han scratched his head and laughed.
His naive look surprised Fang Yun, who could not help but ask, "How old are you now?"
"Me? Just turned twenty," Xiao Han revealed his age.
Hearing Xiao Han's words, Fang Yun was surprised; she showed a bitter smile and said, "I'm already twenty-eight."
The eight-year gap made Fang Yun feel somewhat uneasy. Could they really be together?
"So what?" Xiao Han did not mind at all.
Just as Fang Yun was about to speak, her phone rang. She answered the call, and suddenly her face changed.
"I'll be right there." Her expression was agitated, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears fell from her eyes like glistening gems.
"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong," Xiao Han, with his keen hearing, naturally heard the content of the call. He pulled Fang Yun close, staring at her earnestly as he spoke.
"Mmm."
At this moment, Fang Yun was already feeling overwhelmed. She had just received a call that her daughter's condition had suddenly worsened, and the doctors were at their wits' end. They called Fang Yun to see her daughter one last time.
The two hailed a taxi and headed straight for the hospital.
All the way there, Xiao Han kept comforting Fang Yun, reassuring her and claiming he had the ability to save her daughter. But at that moment, Fang Yun was hardly listening. If it were not for the fact that Xiao Han had truly saved her earlier and that she still harbored a glimmer of hope, she might have already collapsed.
They quickly arrived at the hospital. Under Fang Yun's guidance, they ran to the ward where her daughter was.
However, when they reached the ward, what they saw was a body covered with a white sheet.
A group of people stood in the room. Among them, a young doctor, about thirty, spoke somewhat disheartened, "Miss Fang, I'm sorry, we did all we could."
Fang Yun felt all strength drain from her body in an instant as she stared hopelessly at the small figure on the bed, her expression blank.
At this moment, she did not shed tears, but everyone could feel that Fang Yun's heart had died.
Xiao Han supported Fang Yun's shoulders and frowned. Suddenly, he spoke, "You bunch of incompetents, this child still has a breath left in her. What do you mean she's already dead? Do you doctors always disregard human life like this?"
Hearing Xiao Han's words, everyone was shocked. Fang Yun's eyes brightened; she grabbed Xiao Han's hand excitedly and said, "You said you could save my daughter. Please, save her now."
She remembered Xiao Han's earlier words, and a spark of hope suddenly flared in her heart.
"Don't worry, I will definitely bring her back," Xiao Han nodded solemnly, his face stern.
He pulled his hand free from Fang Yun's and walked towards the bed.
The young doctor frowned and stepped in front of Xiao Han, then coldly said, "Young man, please do not cause a scene here. The patient has passed away; please respect the dignity of the deceased."
"Get out of the way. Anyone who dares stop him, I will kill,"
No one expected that at this moment, Fang Yun would act like a furious lion, pushing the young doctor aside.
The doctor was also dumbfounded. Fang Yun was usually gentle and frail, plus she was extremely beautiful. They had never seen her angry, so they never imagined that the explosive Fang Yun would be so terrifying.
Looking at her glaring red eyes, twinkling with a frightening cold light, nobody doubted Fang Yun's words.
Xiao Han shook his head. The holders of the Heavenly Slaughter Star all contained a grudge deep inside, and once it erupted, it was profoundly shocking. He patted Fang Yun and a stream of cool True Qi entered her body, stabilizing her emotions.
"Don't be angry with them. What I want to do, no one can stop," Xiao Han said confidently.
At that moment, he emanated a terrifying authority that filled the entire room, impacting everyone present.
The few doctors and nurses looked at Xiao Han with a touch of reverence in their eyes. Who was this person? How could he possess such fearsome authority? Their hospital had seen many important figures, but none possessed the intimidating presence that Xiao Han did.
Walking to the bedside, Xiao Han directly lifted the white cloth revealing a girl with a pale complexion, her body terribly thin, and no older than four or five years old. By then, she had already stopped breathing.
"She is already dead. We have made the most authoritative judgment," said the previous doctor, unable to help himself from speaking.
Seeing Fang Yun's emotions flare up again upon hearing his words, Xiao Han glared at that doctor and harshly commanded, "Shut up."
His voice was not loud, but it rang in the doctor's ears like the evening drum or morning bell. The young doctor trembled and stood there, not daring to utter another word.
"One breath of yang is still there; she can be saved," Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there was even the last breath of yang, he could bring her back without expending much energy. If the girl had indeed completely died, then it would have been troublesome. Xiao Han could save people, but at a tremendous cost.
No one the Evil Doctor lineage could not save; such was their confidence, whether the person was alive or dead.
In front of the astonished onlookers, Xiao Han produced a Golden Needle and, without a glance, directly inserted it into the girl.
The next moment, another Golden Needle appeared, which he likewise inserted.
A total of thirty-six Golden Needles were placed on most parts of the girl's body.
After completing all this, Xiao Han gently exhaled, wiping the sweat off his forehead, and said, "Halfway saved."
Although he said this, to others looking on, the girl seemed no different from before.
"She hasn't reacted at all, young student, better not to make a fuss. Respect the dead," the young doctor, having been scared by Xiao Han several times, still couldn't help saying.
"Ignorance isn't your fault, but flaunting your ignorance is shameful," an angry voice came, but it wasn't Xiao Han who spoke, rather an old man in a white coat.
The young doctor, resentful, was about to retort, but upon seeing the old man, he was startled and quickly exclaimed, "Director."
This old man was the director of the hospital.
Xiao Han glanced at him and lazily said, "Old man, have you figured anything out?"
Hearing Xiao Han's address, the doctors and nurses couldn't help being shocked, knowing the director was about to get angry since he detested those who failed to respect their elders.
However, contrary to their expectations, the director showed no sign of anger, instead cheerily said, "Ninety-nine Soul Returning Needle, the acupuncture technique that can revive the dead. The elder had the fortune to read about this technique in an ancient text, but never imagined he'd have the blessing to see it in his lifetime."
